CSD Associate Professor, Dr. Charlie Hughes, was selected as one of this year’s members of EKU’s Provost Faculty Internship program.
This program provides executive leadership training for professors and seeks to foster higher-education leadership skills.

Dr. Hughes will be focusing on faculty teaching support, mainly by developing an “open classroom” model here at EKU. In this model, course instructors can open their classrooms to colleagues to observe a variety of teaching and learning strategies. He is excited to lean into this project during the ’26-’27 academic year.
